STAFF at Dogs Trust Loughborough are hoping the first days of the new year will find a new home for a devoted elderly doggie duo.

The inseparable canine companions, Border Terrier, Peggy, and Jack Russell, Sue, both13, have lived together since they were eight weeks old. At the grand old age of 91 in dog years they unfortunately found themselves in need of a new place to call home after a change in family circumstances just days before Christmas.

Having settled in over the festive season, the team at the Hill Farm rehoming centre are hoping that as 2018 gets underway the dinky twosome will find a new home at the double.

Claire Kelman, assistant manager at Dogs Trust Loughborough, said: “Unfortunately older dogs often get overlooked, as do dogs that need to be rehomed with a canine companion but we really hope that isn’t the case for Peggy and Sue.

“They are an adorable pair and are always by each other’s side so we really want to find them a home together. There are lots of advantages to adopting older dogs, including the fact that they are used to living in a home and generally need less exercise, and of course two dogs means double the doggie love!”

Peggy and Sue are sweet older girls who are looking for a home where there are no other dogs to steal the sofa or the limelight! They can live with older children and when out and about would prefer to be walked in quieter areas.
